Deputy Government Spokesperson said after Friday’s regular sitting of the National Council of Ministers that they are at ease, believing United Nations Security Council sanctions may not be imposed on the government.
Rachel Nyadak told journalists that last Tuesday’s visit of UN Security Council’s delegation to South Sudan changed the understanding and attitude of imposing sanctions.
She argued that the government did not violate the Cessation of Hostilities agreement and that it appears sanctions may be relieved.
The Deputy Spokesperson denied opposition’s accusation that the government planted landmines in parts of Unity State.
Minister Nyadak said it is a practice of the opposition to turn their deeds to be of the government.
The Deputy Spokesperson also disclosed that the Council of Ministers adopted a strategy on awareness campaign against Ebola spread to the country.
The official cited cautions and restrictions on borders and travels, warning masses against eating wild meat as a potential source of Ebola.
The minister said the cabinet also resolved to have more consultations on evacuation of South Sudanese from Libya following continuous security instability there.
